Lust Haves #3

Aloha my cherrypies, so it's been a bit of a quiet few weeks for me but I'm super excited as I shall be moving into my new flat in two weeks!! So look out for lots of house posts! Super exciting! So as it's been a quiet few weeks I thought I'd show you what I'm currently lusting after and what I have stored in my shopping basket awaiting the arrival of payday!

 So the first thing on my list is this amazing faux leather pink leather skirt and jacket, it's by one of my favourite brands Pinup Girl Clothing and I just adore it. I've gone a little crazy for pink lately and this just ticks all the boxes for me, they also do it in a full wiggle style dress which I also love but I prefer this set so that I can mix and match tops.

My second lust have is something that has taken me back to childhood, as a kid I was obsessed by the Anime series SailorMoon and I would have been in heaven if I could have had this compact when I was younger. Luckily I'm an adult now and can buy what I want so this is definitely something that I will be purchasing! It's so cute and make different sound effects which is just too adorable! The compact is made by a company called Proplica which is Japanese company that also makes lots of other Sailor Moon goodies too so I can add to the collection ;)

 

 Thirdly on my list is this wig by Lush Wigs, I'm a huge fan of Harry Potter fan and I always wanted Tonks power to be able to change my hair super quick and then it occurred to me! Why not get a wig? So I've been searching the net and this company seems to come very well recommended and the prices are seriously good! Magical hair here I come!

And lastly! If you have been looking on my Instagram you will have seen that my favourite colours are Mint and Pink so when I saw these shoes I thought how perfect they were. These shoes are by a company called Bettie Page shoes by Ellie but you an get them on Unique Vintage, I adore the scalloped edges and think they would go perfectly with the pink leather skirt and jacket above ;)

Marvellous Meet Ups - Le Keux Vintage Salon and The Wet Spot Leeds

Aloha my cherry pies, so first of all I thought I'd talk about a really amazing group on Facebook called 1940s/1950s Most Marvellous Meet Ups. I first stumbled upon this group a couple of months ago and it's the best thing ever! It's an group where regular meet ups are arranged so that other vintage loving guys and dolls can meet up, I've been to a few meet ups now and I've meet some really wonderful people, so I can not recommend it enough.

So on Friday I went to a fantastic meet up with two lovely vintage loving gals. We first meet up in Leeds and went to a hotel we had booked to drop off all our bags. We then ventured into Leeds city centre where we grabbed some sushi from Yo Sushi, I just have to say here that I got an amazing dessert from there where the sauce for the ice cream came in a syringe which I thought was a super cool touch.

So after food we went to do a vintage hair class at Le Keux vintage salon, the class was being taught be the amazingly beautiful and talented Diablo Rose who is not only an amazing hair stylist but she is also an amazing pin up model and one of my heroes for modern pin up girls. The class was fantastic and I got some great tips for vintage hair styling which I immediately tried as soon as I got home. The class was held in the Le Keux salon and if you've not been before been I definitely recommend it, its a retro dream as its decked out with vintage hair dryers and tools and has a wonderful pink Cadillac couch which I super want to steal haha. They also do photoshoots there and I'm definitely booking one in the future.

So after the class it was back to the hotel to get changed to do see The Wet Spot Burlesque show, and this gave me the chance to wear my gorgeous Monica dress by Pin Up Girl Clothing. The show was held at the Belgrave music hall which was a really great setting. As soon as you walked in you were greeted by classic music and a bar that was serving great cocktails. The show was fantastic and had some really great acts. For me Sophia St Villier stole the show as she was absolutely stunning and very talented at Burlesque, and I practically liked the poor guy she grabbed from the audience, when she stripped while dressed a latex horse his face was a mixture of terrified and happiness haha. I also loved Kitty Ribbons as one of her acts included her being dressed as Jewellery box ballerina and as she turn on the rotating platform she stripped, which I thought was a genius idea for Burlesque. The whole show was great and fingers crossed I get to see some more in future.

All in all it was the perfect way to spend a Friday and I loved every minute. Thanks for reading Guys and Dolls x

Hms Vintage Phootshoot

Aloha my Cherry pies, so back in June I had a photo shoot with an amazing company called Hms Vintage where Cherry Dollface styled my hair and did my makeup. It was a magical day and I thought I'd share with you the photos I received back.

I absolutely adore these photos, the people are Hms Vintage as so amazingly friendly and I love getting photos done there. It just made it even more special that Cherry styled my hair which I was super in love with. I also got to wear my beautiful Pin Up Girl Clothing castle print dress which is definitely one of my favourites and it looked great with the backdrop.

Hope you enjoy Guys and Dolls x

Pinup up abroad - Outfits

Aloha my cherrypies so I have just come back from an amazing holiday in Tenerife filled with sunshine, sea and one too many cocktails. Tenerife is beautiful Spanish island in the Canary's and is a really amazing place to go on holiday if you get the chance as the weather is gorgeous and the food and drinks are plenty haha. So my lovelies if you have been looking at my Instagram you will have seen what I have been wearing abroad so I thought id just got into a little detail on what I wore and where I bought it.

My favourite outfit of the holiday was this gorgeous skirt and top by The Oblong Box Shop. All the clothes from this shop are amazing and I love how the top goes perfectly with the skirt. The skirt is from the palm springs collection and I just love everything in this collection and definitely have some things on my wish list for the future. The quality of the pieces are lovely and the top is stretchy so its super comfy. The print on the skirt is gorgeous too as I am just flamingo mad. As you know I'm also pineapple mad as well so I had to pair this outfit with this super cute pineapple bag from New Look.

My second outfit is this amazing twin set by Collectif clothing. Collectif is my one stop shop for everything vintage inspired and when I saw this set with the flamingo and toucan print I knew it would look perfect on a holiday. Its a tropical dream, the material is really high quality, but I did have to wait till night to wear this as the material is quite thick so it was too hot to wear during the day. I also put a real flower in my hair with this outfit as I felt its gave it that extra tropical touch.

My third outfit was was pineapple tastic. My pineapple print skirt was from Primark last year, the material on in was very light so it was perfect to keep me cool. The top was from H&M recently and I am just madly in love with the sequin pineapple as its super gorgeous and sparkly. I am also wearing a super cute glittery pineapple clip from Alternate Normality but unfortunately you cant see it in the picture.

My next outfit was also one of my favourites as it was a great vintage buy. I managed to snag it at a vintage kilo event after seeing a lady pick it up and falling in love with the dress, so as you do I followed her round the event in hopes that she would put it down, and she did, lucky me haha. I also paired it with this great straw hat from H&M. I'm really into my hats now for the summer after seeing how Modern June Cleaver over at junebugsandgeorgiapeaches looks in hers, she has totally inspired me and brought me over the hat side of life!

My last outfit is this super cute combo of deadly dames and watermelons which I think totally works haha. The skirt is again from Primark and I managed to pick it up when I picked up the pineapple skirt as they had some really cute circle skirts in last year. I paired it with this amazing deadly dames top from Pin Up Girl Clothing that I hadn't worn before but I have no idea why because I love it! Its super flattering and because its black its very versatile so I will definitely be bringing out this bad boy more often!.

Hope you enjoyed reading, thanks Guys and Dolls x
